Kubernetes Backup Software Global Market Report 2025

The Kubernetes backup software market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $0.62 billion in 2024 to $0.8 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 27.9%. The growth in the historic period is attributed to the increasing adoption of containerized applications, the growing need for data protection in cloud-native environments, the rising deployment of Kubernetes platforms, the increasing data volumes across enterprises, and the growing adoption of DevOps and automation practices.

The Kubernetes backup software market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.11 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 27.5%. The growth in the forecast period is driven by the rising adoption of hybrid and multi-cloud strategies, the increasing demand for cross-cluster data recovery solutions, the growing emphasis on data security and compliance, and the increasing digital transformation initiatives. Key trends in the forecast period include the integration of AI and machine learning for intelligent backup management, the adoption of policy-driven automated backup frameworks, the growing preference for multi-cluster and cross-cloud recovery solutions, and the increasing use of container-native storage systems.

The increasing adoption of hybrid and multi-cloud strategies is expected to drive the growth of the Kubernetes backup software market in the coming years. Hybrid and multi-cloud strategies involve using a combination of public and private clouds, or multiple cloud service providers, to optimize performance, flexibility, cost-efficiency, and data resilience across IT environments. Their growing adoption is driven by the increased flexibility they offer, allowing organizations to run workloads in different environments for better performance and efficient resource utilization. Kubernetes backup software supports hybrid and multi-cloud strategies by enabling seamless backup, recovery, and migration of data across various cloud environments, ensuring workloads remain protected and available regardless of hosting location. For instance, in March 2024, according to Flexera, a US-based computer software company, multi-cloud adoption increased from 87% in 2023 to 89% in 2024. Therefore, the increasing adoption of hybrid and multi-cloud strategies is fueling the growth of the Kubernetes backup software market.

Key companies in the Kubernetes backup software market are focusing on innovations such as data resilience and modern virtualization to enhance security, scalability, and operational efficiency. Data resilience ensures continuous availability and reliability of information, protecting it against loss, corruption, or downtime during disruptions, while modern virtualization enables flexible, software-defined infrastructures that improve resource utilization, scalability, and smooth workload management across diverse environments. For instance, in February 2025, Veeam Software, a US-based information technology company, released Kasten V7.5, featuring enhanced security and modern virtualization capabilities to strengthen its position as a leading provider of data resilience solutions. The latest version introduces deeper integration with Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization and SUSE Rancher Prime to extend protection across modern applications. It also provides secure and automated protection for Microsoft Azure and AWS environments, ensuring compliance with new immutability and policy management features. Additionally, Kasten V7.5 improves operational simplicity with unified backup and disaster recovery orchestration, enhanced scalability, and optimized storage management, offering enterprises greater control, automation, and resilience for Kubernetes workloads.

In July 2024, CloudCasa by Catalogic, a US-based provider of cloud-native backup, recovery, migration, and disaster recovery services for Kubernetes and other cloud-native environments, partnered with IONOS to enhance cloud-native resilience through unified data protection. The partnership aims to provide IONOS Cloud users with seamless, scalable, and secure Kubernetes data protection, migration, and disaster recovery solutions. IONOS is a Germany-based digitalization partner for small and medium-sized businesses.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the information technology sector, particularly in hardware manufacturing, data infrastructure, and software deployment. Higher duties on imported semiconductors, circuit boards, and networking equipment have raised production and operational costs for tech firms, cloud service providers, and data centers. Companies relying on globally sourced components for laptops, servers, and consumer electronics are facing longer lead times and increased pricing pressures. In parallel, tariffs on specialized software tools and retaliatory measures from key international markets have disrupted global IT supply chains and reduced overseas demand for U.S.-developed technologies. To navigate these challenges, the sector is accelerating investments in domestic chip fabrication, diversifying supplier bases, and adopting AI-driven automation to enhance operational resilience and cost efficiency.
